Carp Team Research Projects


Growth of Carp A study of carp growth utilizing ichthyological and ecological resources to help determine where
                                        large carp can be located. Utilizes the balanced energy equation to determine the variables
                                        affecting carp growth.
 

A brief history of carp in North America As appeared in the North American Carp Angler, the
                                                                                                   publication of the Carp Anglers Group.
 

Biodiversity, the Lake A much needed and beautiful study in flora and fauna that most anglers need,  to
                                                       understand the trophic levels that carp feed upon. The anglers knowledge base in
                                                       this area is sorely lacking. Presenting the Lake.
 

Biodiversity, the River Understand the life in the river and how it relates to each other. The carp is among
                                   the most successful fish in this ecosystem. The river is a hostile environment compared
                                                         to the lake.
 

The Big Fish This is a true story (kinda). It is intended to inform and entertain with a view to catching larger carp.
                                It is not the end all of instruction on catching big carp. However some real progress is being made in
                                this area. The Carp Research Team and the Carp Anglers Group has joined in a think tank with many
                                of the most notable carp anglers in the US and abroad. This study of the behavior of larger fish and
                                techniques to catch them on tackle is ongoing. This information will be shared among the Carp Anglers
                                Group and is a good incentive to join the organization.
 

Glucose Utilization The primary fuel of the carp is stored lipids or fats,  but they do have a sweet tooth.
